Belle Air San Bruno Homes and Neighborhood Guide
San Bruno neighborhood guide
Belle Air, often called Belle Air Park, sits in the flat eastern lowlands of San Bruno, between the Caltrain line and the Bayshore Freeway, with San Francisco International Airport just to the east.
It is one of San Bruno's oldest subdivisions, platted in 1905, and its grid of numbered avenues fills in around Belle Air Elementary, which opened in 1951 in the lowlands near what was then Mills Field.
For a first purchase, it is one of the most attainable single family neighborhoods in San Mateo County, with quick access to Interstate 380, US 101, the San Bruno Caltrain station and the San Bruno BART station.

Homes and Streets
Homes in Belle Air are mainly small detached bungalows and cottages, with some ranch style houses, built mostly from the 1930s through the 1950s. Many are around 1,000 square feet. Representative streets include 2nd, 3rd and 6th Avenues and Walnut Street.
Because the neighborhood is under the airport approach, buyers should ask whether a home was part of SFO's noise insulation program, and parts near San Bruno Creek have a history of flooding at very high tides, so check flood maps and disclosures.
